Replace

[MFA]

Hi All

Help required in replace string.

a= "I am trying to replace a string from 1 point to another point which is
point 2. But I dont know how ? "
b = "This"

Now from string a I want to replace from 1 to 2 with string b="this"
so the final string will be like c
c= "I am trying to replace a string from this. But I dont know how ? "

Regards

c = replace(a, "1 point to another point which is point 2", b)

I think that gets it.

Which works IF the string "1 point to another point which is point 2" is
predictable. If it's not, you'll have to parse the string, maybe adding
some delimiters like:

a= "I am trying to replace a string from #1 point to another point which is
point 2#. But I dont know how ? "
b = "This"

Loop through the string, when you reach a delimiter start storing the string
and stop when you reach the next delimiter. Replace that stored string with
the desired string.

a = "I am trying to replace a string from 1 point to another point which is
point 2. But I dont know how ? "
b = "this"
f1 = InStr(a, "1 point")
f2 = InStr(a, "point 2")
c = Left(a, f1 - 1) & b & Right(a, Len(a) - f2 - Len("point 2") + 1)

<%
Dim s,re
s = "I am trying to replace a string from 1 point to another point which
is point 2. But I dont know how ?"
Set re = New RegExp
re.Global = True
re.Pattern = "1 point(.*?)point 2"
Response.Write re.Replace(s,"this")
%>
